A 6,000-km undersea glass fiber phone line crosses the Atlantic ocean connecting the US and France. (a) How long does it take fo

r a message to transverse this link? (b) How long does it take for a message to travel from US to France by using a satellite link? The satellite is stationed about 22,000 miles above the earth between the US and France. (c) Will two people having a conversation across these two different links notice the travel delays?

Answer:

Explanation:

Message will travel through the fibre at the speed of 3 x 10⁸ m /s which is also the speed of light .

a ) Time for a message to travel from US to France by using glass fibre  link

time  = distance / speed

= 6000 x 1000 / 3 x 10⁸

= .02 s .

b )

22000 miles = 1.6 x 22000

= 35200 km

Time for a message to travel from US to France by using a satellite link

time = distance / velocity

 distance = 2 x √ ( 35200² + 3000² )

=  2 x 35327 km

= .7 x 10⁸ m .

time = .7 x 10⁸ / 3 x 10⁸

= .233 s

c )

Difference of time = .233 - .02

= .213 which is more than 1/6 s for which effect of hearing stays in the brain , which is called persistence of vision .  So they will be heard as different sounds.

°C = (5/9) · (°F-32)

The "wet" thermometer is the upper one ... you can see the wet cloth wrapped around the bulb at the end.  It's reading 70° F.

°C = (5/9) · (38) = 21.1° C

The "dry" thermometer is the lower one.  It's reading 80° F.

°C = (5/9) · (48) = 26.7° C

So it looks like choice-A is your answer.

With regard to pneumatic mechanical devices which afford protection against the formation of ice, which of the following stateme
Andreyy89

Answer:

the answer is The pneumatic mechanical device can only be used as a de-icing device.

Explanation:

An ice protection system prevents the formation of ice, or enables the aircraft to shed the ice before it can grow to a dangerous thickness. Ice protection systems are designed to keep atmospheric ice from accumulating on aircraft surfaces such as wings, propellers and engine intakes.

The pneumatic mechanical device is the Pneumatic deicing boots which was invented by the Goodrich Corporation in 1923. The pneumatic boot is usually made of layers of rubber, with one or more air chambers between the layers.

Any design which utilizes either a mechanical means of breaking the bond of ice to the surface, or which operates on a periodic cycle, is necessarily a de-ice system.

Two objects, Object A and Object B, need to be identified. Object A's index of refraction is determined to be 1.77, and Object B
Slav-nsk [51]

The correct answer is

C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.

In fact, the index of refraction of a material is defined as:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in the material. Rearranging the equation, we can write the speed of light in the material as:

v=\frac{c}{n}

So we that, the smaller the refractive index n, the greater the speed of light in the material, v. In this problem, object B has lower refractive index than object A, so light travels faster in object B.
